Feeling the Erge


Just in time for fall Erge has sent a beautiful array of colors and textures! We are absolutely loving the burnout tops and scarves and can't wait to incorporate them into our fall wardrobes.

A great new scarf from Erge is the Infinity Scarf which is a full loop of fabric you can use to complete any look easily.

The 3/4 Sleeve Scoopneck Shirred Top is also a beautiful and flattering piece.

Burnout is not just from Erge for fall, we're beginning to see lots of beautiful fabrics from Juicy Couture-check out the Sticking Juicy Exquisite Top.

Kensie offers some classic tees in plain burnout fabric for a subtle style, while E.Vil takes a classic tee and bedazzles it with rhinestones to spell out some pretty hilarious sayings, such as "I'm a Legend in London, Hollywood Bigshot and I Really Rarely Ever Have Fun in Paris."

Shop the burnout trend for fall and more at Urban Minx!

What to Wear: Boho Beauty


Far from fading out, the boho trend has gained some serious momentum. Boho can be built in a way which caters to each individual taste, but we've compiled an outfit which features our favorite facets of the look.

It's a fun mixture of shapes, from the draped cut of our Juicy Couture Draped Cardigan to the slim silhouette of the Red Engine Skinny Jean. The texture of the Craft Fringe Boot stands in sharp contrast to the ultra smooth plane of the Marion D Hobo bag from Juicy. We've even added a bit of glitz with Michael Stars' Rhinestone Scoop Tank and the bold beauty of Juicy's Open Crystal Necklace.

Most of the fun found in Boho is that it's eclectic, but we've tied this look together with a cohesive gold undertone to each item.

Where the Wild Things Are


The briefest of browses through the runway’s runaway looks will inform you that the animal print trend not only lives, but is still thriving in the wardrobes of the most noted trend-setters!

Too many spots will have you looking like an auditionee for a Broadway production of Cats, but a little touch of the exotic can enhance your look! Start small, with a choice handbag or a bold pair of shoes. This splash of print creates a look that’s subtle, but with that hint of fun and flair.

Love Your Leggings

For some women leggings are never a style option, but sometimes just knowing how to wear leggings makes all the difference between looking chic versus looking like an unfortunate fashion throwback.

If you like the ease of leggings, but want to make sure you always wear them appropriately, consider these tips:

  • The simplest way for women to wear leggings is beneath a tunic. Tunics vary in length, so it's important that your tunic is long enough to cover your hips and behind. Your tunic top can be in sweater form or knit jersey material. If you're feeling a bit busty, a belt will work to balance your frame.
  • Petite women should take care to make sure your top doesn't fall past your mid-thighs – anything longer will have you looking outsized. More monochromatic choices will help to elongate your frame.
  • Tall women run the risk of wearing tops too short. Note that your be-legginged bum should not be exposed in any way.
  • Leggings look best with flats or plain pumps, but ankle booties will give you a bit of attitude.
  • Because leggings are so fitted, it's best to steer clear of tight shirts for the best look. These items work better when your overall outfit is balanced, pairing roomy with fitted.
  • Dresses that fall at or above the knee can work with leggings. This is one case where a close-fitting dress would look good with leggings, such as a jersey knit dress with a wide belt at the waist.
  • Always remember that your leggings are an accessory - not an outfit. Build your preferred outfit first, and add leggings after. Your leggings' color should match something else in your outfit for the most harmonious pairing.

Break for Bailey 44

Bailey 44 takes a full-circle fashion turn this season, stepping away from their recent rigid styles in favor of a more feminine take. Despite the shift, Bailey 44 has hardly lost its edge. The brand still incorporates its signature use of studs, streamlined cuts, and dramatic shades - all accents represented best in the new Road Warrior Top and sister style Road Warrior Dress.

What's new is the way the styles hang and hug curves in all the right places, flattering the feminine frame and enhancing every angle attractively. Bailey 44 even finds the beauty in basics, as in their Telling the Tales Dress.

Minx Muse: Emma Watson


Actress Emma Watson has grown from gawky teen to gorgeous style icon overnight and we're loving every look that she puts out.

The Harry Potter starlet has been seen at the frontlines of many a runway show and seems to be taking all the right notes.

Though her street style is certainly nothing to scoff at, we've turned our attention to this Teen Vogue shoot.

The jewel tone of Emma's a-line dress simply pops, especially against the pale contrast of her cardigan.

Not much is seen of her shoes, but the drama of the shot lives on in Emma's layered statement necklace.

Staff Pick: The Skinny on Kensie


Minx model Robin is all about London style, which is why she loves these new Miss Me Skinny Jeans in Griffith Park.

Set at a sensible mid-rise, the jean is a flattering classic skinny cut in a modish black wash. This pair would be a perfect addition to any fall wardrobe when worn with luxe ankle booties or some statement heels for holiday.

The Dark Side of Denim

Now that fall is in full swing, those pale rinse jeans are running the risk of washing out your favorite fashions.

It's time to ditch your summer jeans in favor of darker denim. Not only does a darker wash compliment the colours of the season, but it'll slim down any offending curves that might crop up after that impromtu rendezvous with a leftover birthday cake stashed in the fridge.
